Wall Street owns the UK (for what it's worth)

Again, prove it. It's no good making daft comments with nothing to back them up.

For what it's worth, London is the city with the most economic clout in the world.

You'd think that Blackie would show a little gratitude to their American Masters and grovel for a few scraps that is befitting of his position....
How very naive you are.

It is what it is Blackie... You can put as much lipstick on this pig that is the UK economy as you want , but it's still a pig.

While you're at it, take a look at all the investment capital that is leaving the EU and Britain by the boat load to seek security in the US and Canada.

They see the writing on the wall... You will too, although it will be far too late for you

And you have to be the biggest blowhard I have ever known; Your head is so big you may have to step into you t-shirt!


It has to be so big to house my huge brain.

but it's still a pig.

So what does that make the Canadian economy?

Go on then. Give us the figures. Give us the proof. Disprove the fact that in 2013 the UK recorded an increase of 22% in inward FDI.

More FDI pours into Britain every year than any other EU country. In fact, Britain ranks SECOND only to the US for FDI in the world, much more than the supposedly economically perfect Canada. That is, unless you can disprove that.

They see the writing on the wall
Do they? It's obviously good writing, with all the FDI that's flooding into the coutnry.

The difference between you and me Blackie is that myself, as a Canadian, am completely free whereas you, well, you are a 'subject', an indentured slave.. It says so right in your laws, whereas in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has no such reference.

You as a British citizen have what are called 'betters'... Those people that are superior to you in every conceivable way, in fact, it is completely accurate to state that Canadians and Americans are also your betters... Free citizens in independent nations

Why was I able to correctly guess the author of the O.P. the second I saw the title of the thread? -:)

The last time I checked Canada has exactly the same Head of State than Britain. Did you learn nothing at school?

Also you have way more friends.

All his friends are on this forum. The same is true for you.

New figures show that the British economy is now the best in the world, with growth outstripping all other major economies, including the US, Japan and, far less surprising, the rest of the EU.

ha, their delusions of grandeur seem to be going strong as well.

They're not delusions, as you will see at the end of the year when Britain's and evey other major Western economy's GDP growth figures for the year are released.

Canada had it easy in both world wars, like America did. It's something you keep forgetting. I just wonder how Canada and America would have fared had they had Nazi Germany on their doorstep, threatening them with invasion and bombing all their major towns and cities every night for nine months.


Prove it beyond doubt. Shouldn't take you long, I imagine.


How did the British start WWII? What country did we invade?


Canada, the ANZACS, and the US saved the brits in both wars. We did the fighting, fed your nation, protected your children... and provided comfort to your women. ;)


Britain declared war on Germany.

We did the fighting.

Not until 1942, you didn't. The British took part in several battles, including the Battle of River Plate, the Battle of Britain, the Battle of France, the Balkans Campaign before you Yanks turned up.

Johnny-come-latelys as usual, yet you have the audacity to say you won the war singlehandedly.

Britain declared war on Germany.

Because Germany invaded Poland.

And you got tossed from the continent.


The briddish needed saving again and they were saved.



Because Germany invaded Poland.


The Soviet Union invaded Poland too. The brits did not declare war on the Soviets.

You should check again.

Snap to it servant, and fetch me a beer while you're at it

You declared war on paper but it was the real warriors from the US and Canada that did the fighting.
